Our first podcast of 2026 features Eli Hirtzel, a church planter at Covenant Kapolei on the island of Oahu in Hawaii.
Does church planting in Hawaii sound glamorous–suffering for the kingdom in sun and sand? Eli shares the real story of life in Hawaii for those there longer than a week. We talk about Hawaiian culture, some unique life circumstances as he took the call, and how he and the church think about outreach in their community.
